'Hero'

That's the word to sum you up the most. Your mentality, your strivings, your life's work. Separate yourself from the ways of the world. Come to grips with reality and accept it, but work to undermine the threads. Become who you are. Once you are yourself, save everyone else. When they're all off of the burning boat, if it's possible, get off yourself. That's the goal.

"Think about someone else for a change"

That's what they tell you. So you do. You think about everyone else for a change. You make sure your mother is happy. You fucking work your ass off to please your father. You try to make friends. When you fail...you give up.

"Lazy"

he always calls you. Pretty soon, you've accepted it. You tried to prove him wrong at first, but pretty soon you've realized that hey, if the world believes it, why it must be true. Pretty soon it's the only word that matters. 'Valedictorian'? Doesn't mean a thing. A thousand times over, the same worries. You realize sooner than later that the only way you're ever going to get out of your slump is by yourself. There is no slump. There is only you. You're the slump.

"Poet"

What you've always wanted to be. What scares you the most. You put your feelings down on paper and suddenly your soul is exposed to the entire fucking world. But the thing no one realizes as they disect your works is that this is YOU. This isn't some fucking poem, this isn't some fucking words on a paper. This is YOU. Your life, your soul, your body, your feelings. You.

"Loneliness"

is a shade of what you're truly feeling...
